    That’s the issue, I’m not calling Leo because two neighbors are participating in fisticuffs.


    I’m alerting Leo to make sure these two idiots in charge of large vehicles who have no self control get taken out of the game because they can injure the unsuspecting civilian.

    If they can’t control their anger they don’t belong behind the wheel simple.

    It is sad, but a lot of folks have 911itis, I think they think it gives them some sense of importance or something.
    Two drivers are the very same as two of your neighbors, as long as they are standing on the ground, except for the fact that your neighbors would probably have their whole life turned upside down for getting in a fight even if someone NEEDED an attitude adjustment.

    So why even call the cops for anything? Hell I don’t care what anyone does attitude is why we have idiots on the road in charge of machines that can kill multiple people in one crash.

    Yup let’s sit by and allow these two to get back in the same truck and drive off.

    It doesn’t fly. These two hood rats don’t belong behind the wheel.

    We here laugh at steering wheel holders and yak about how they don’t belong behind the wheel after crashing into a tree.

    Yet here we are discussing the facts of the law enforcement should be involved or not when taken into consideration how these two idiots don’t belong behind a wheel of a truck.

    Your misunderstanding my comment as 911 itis not at all. Many of us care about our families and our families care about us, I don’t need these idiots on the road with me.

    You are assuming that they are idiots to start with, you have no idea who or what kind of people they are. One of them may have badly needing a little explaining as to how the world works.

    Just because those 2 got into a fight with each other doesn't mean they aren't good drivers. Trying to correlate the two isnt accurate.

    Oh ya every time the truck will be stopped and not moving. What happens when he was stabbed while it was moving and lost control?




    How do you know they one won’t lose their temper while the other is driving?

    Once again you are assuming the same thing you don’t want anyone else to do.


    In this case assumption is the mother of all #### ups.

    Logical people would rather assume on the side of caution.

    i think in the end, you have your opinion on calling 911, the cops, etc....and many others here have a different opinion. , like i do. i personally did not like you calling those that do, a NARC.

    some of us "feel" it's the right thing to do, if only to "help" either person in that fight, or to protect others, from any possible harm, especially, had an innocent trucker happenstance to be walking by, and he gets stabbed, or shot, for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time..

    and "what if" that innocent trucker was a family man...?? what does one NOT dialing 911 say later when the cops arrive, shut down the parking lot, no one can get out..???

    "geez, sorry officer, but i would have been considered a "NARC" for calling 911, and i cannot have that, as my whole family would live a life of perpetual shame"...

    sorry, but i personally have to shave each day, looking at the mirror to do so, and i simply would feel better knowing that i made an "attempt" (from a safe distance) to help out someone that could have been slightly injured or mortally so.


    we can debate this all night, and i will not, there is a really good movie on HBO @ 8 PM, called, "The mule" with Clint Eastwood, that i am going to watch.

    you were not put on ignore, but you were close to it.

    now, i need to shave my back, and take a shower, and if all this is done before the movie starts..??

    i'll be back for "closing comments"

    9000 drivers get in a fight a year, usually most I have seen have been one punch wonders, to someone that probably needed killing, but most drivers refrain from that, and no trouble or even another word between the two, and maybe one out ot a thousand gets in a fight later on.
    But some important dude calls the law every time , because he imagines that something might happen, Now who is is that is doing the assuming.
    next it will be dudes calling the law because someone slapped their buddy on the back and he imagines it might escalate to a fight.
    You are 100% right about the definition of assumption.
